How to merge or insert PDF pages in UWP

To insert/copy/merge several PDF documents into one.

PDFDoc newDocument = new PDFDoc();
int pageNumber = 15;

for (int i = 1; i <= pageNumber; ++i)
{
    PDFDoc inputDocument = new PDFDoc(filename + "_split_page_" + i + ".pdf");
    newDocument.InsertPages(i, inputDocument, 1, inputDocument.GetPageCount(), PDFDocInsertFlag.e_none);
}

await newDocument.SaveAsync(outputFileName + "_merge_pages.pdf", SDFDocSaveOptions.e_linearized);

About page copying/merging

The recommended way to copy pages from one document to another is with PDFDoc.InsertPages(). Its arguments are:

  • insertBeforeThisPage: An integer specifying where the pages should be inserted
  • sourceDoc: A PDFDoc from which the pages should be read
  • startPage: An integer specifying the first page number to insert
  • endPage: An integer specifying the last page number to insert
  • flag: A PDFDoc.InsertFlag value

For example, suppose we want to insert the third page of one document after the first page of a second document. The following code snippet performs this with an insertBeforeThisPage value of 2 and startPage and endPage values of 3.

destinationDocument.InsertPages(2, sourceDocument, 3, 3, PDFDocInsertFlag.e_none);

We can also insert a range of pages. For example, the following code will insert the second, third, and fourth pages of one document into the end of the second document. We specify that we're inserting into the end of the document by using an insertBeforeThisPage value higher than the number of pages in the document:

destinationDocument.InsertPages(destinationDocument.GetPageCount() + 1, sourceDocument, 2, 4, PDFDocInsertFlag.e_none);
